Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 not only shook up geopolitical relations. The consequences can also be felt on a much smaller scale. At Dutch kitchen tables this year, the conflict has divided friends, families and households.

October 7, 2023 also changed the bond between father Rob and his daughter Shari. They share their Jewish background, but look very differently at what happens in Gaza in the two years that follow. And that weighs heavily on their relationship and causes a tense silence.

In the NRC studio they talk to each other again about the subject that had driven them apart.

But how do you do that?

The full names of Shari and Rob are known to the editors.
